DIY: Homemade Teeth Whitening

Teeth are probably one of our best friends that serve as the first assistants to our digestive system, cutting, slicing, grinding our foods inside our mouth and serve our appetite. It is said that, one is unable to perceive the importance of his teeth until they lose them at old age. Hence, it is also important to treat them well and keep them clean and healthy. Dental health is an important aspect of our body, for which reason, dentists hold a different position from the general physicians. It is our duty to take good care of them.
